Lewis Edwards was sentenced to life with a minimum term of 12 years at Cardiff Crown Court after he pleaded guilty to 22 counts of blackmail, 138 child sex offences and a further offence of refusing to disclose the password to a mobile phone and USB stick into sending him degrading sexual images and videos of themselves has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 12 years.
Many of his victims have suffered at his hands – self-harming, feeling suicidal and developing anxiety and depression. One was so traumatised she slept with a hammer under her pillow. “The police investigation of the material accessible to them revealed the online interaction between the defendant and the victims in the indictments,” Roger Griffiths, prosecuting, said.
In a victim impact statement, the girl described Edwards as a “paedophile” and added: “I was a little girl. I feel embarrassed, disgusted and abused. I lost my innocence. “Lewis Edwards, I want you to know that as a family we will never forgive you and we feel nothing for you but hate.”
